THE 12 BEAUTY FINDS I FELL IN LOVE WITH LAST YEAR
1
HALO HAIR DRYER
ZUVI
The blowdryer lets you style your hair without heat damage using patented light technology. It dries the surface of your hair, protecting hair moisture within the hair shaft. It is a game changer for dry and damaged hair. My code Kirsten5 still works for an additional 5% off.
2
FOUNDATION
LANCOME
Lightweight formula that covers. Lasts up to 24 hours. Hyaluronic and mandelic acids hydrate and smooth skin for a natural-looking glowy finish. It goes on smoothly and makes your skin look amazing but like your own skin. I wear shade 302N
3
PLUMPING GLOSS
TARTE
This has quickly become my go-to lip product. It is nourishing and leaves the most gorgeous shiny tint on the lips. My favorite shade is “Cherry Blossom”.
4
HAIR OIL
GISOU
In preparation for my Paris trip, I became obsessed with everything French, including this hair oil. I use it on the ends and bottom half of my hair to make it look healthy and shiny. Just a couple of drops will do the trick.
5
THE RICH CREAM
AUGUSTINE BADER
This stuff is STUPID expensive, but use it once and you will understand the hype. It is unlike any other moisturizer I have ever used. It is magical for dry & dehydrated skin and gives you instant glass-like skin.
6
LID LUSTRE
Victoria Beckham
This Lid Lustre is BANANAS. It is so easy to use and the result is absolutely stunning and gorgeous. It is perfect for a special occasion or to go from day to night in one swipe! Just use your fingers to swipe this shadow onto the lids. The color is very buildable and absolute perfection. I love the shade Chiffon.
7
SETTING MIST
MILANI
This is a budget-friendly alternative to my beloved holy grail setting spray. It is pricey so I was searching for a cheaper option and found this. I was reaching for it more and more and preferring it over my pricier holy grail version. So, I ran out and immediately ordered 2 more, even though I had plenty of the original left. I think that speaks for itself.
8
BLUSH
MAC
This blush in the color Fairly Precious is LIFE and also gives my skin life. Whether I am pasty pale or have a little color in the summertime, this blush never fails to add just the right touch of color. Bonus, it looks great on every skin tone.
9
EYE CREAM
NEW BEAUTY
This eye cream is a hybrid of my 2 favorite daytime eye creams had a baby. It is the PERFECT morning eye cream and is also great to use for under-eye touch-ups during a plane ride or dry winter day. It camouflages darkness just enough and adds a generous dose of hydration, perking up dry and tired under eyes.
10
TEXTURE SPRAY
KRISTIN ESS
No more bad hair days. I have always struggled to get my hair to look “just right” and this texture spray is pure magic. I spray a little bit into my hair after curling it and it makes it look just right every.single.time. Incidentally, I also love every other hair product of hers I have tried. Also, I am dying to try the dry shampoo. It is supposed to be amazing. Hoping it will replace my favorite pricey dry shampoo brand
11
GLYCOLIC SERUM
Sunday Riley
This serum has been a game changer for my skin. It is a great lactic acid exfoliator and works wonderfully on sensitive skin to improve texture, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation and gives my skin an overall more even and plump texture. I have used it nightly with zero irritation and all of the goodness. I can’t recommend it enough for dry & mature skin that is sensitive.
12
BODY OIL
OSEA
This body oil has been such a treat and makes my skin so soft and supple. I apply it to damp skin in the shower and then towel dry. It leaves skin hydrated and glowing without feeling sticky and I will never be without it again. It is so good! I stock up when it is on sale and I will let you guys know when that happens!
There you have it. My 12 best beauty finds of 2023. You can find my best products of previous years here and here. I still use and love them all! I hope this helps you find so me new beauty love.
